Patient's question:
Now, more and more people are getting amniocentesis earlier to determine the sex of the fetus. However, according to my foreign friends, people there don't do amniocentesis at all. They say it's not recommended in foreign countries to do amniocentesis?Doctor's answer:
It is not recommended to have amniocentesis abroad, mainly because the fetus is too small and lacks resistance in the uterine cavity, and at this time, both the pregnant woman and the fetus have poor resistance. After amniocentesis, many pregnant women may experience a recurrence of amniotic fluid infection or other secondary infections, which ultimately lead to miscarriage or even threaten their own lives. Therefore, if it is not particularly necessary, it is best to avoid amniocentesis and minimize harm to the fetus and the pregnant woman.
